Police targeting cruisers for parking violations in Royal Oak

Cruisers in Royal Oak feel like they’re being unfairly harassed in the weeks leading up to the Woodward Dream Cruise as police step up enforcement of parking in private lots, according to published reports.

Royal Oak Police Chief Corrigan O’Donohue said in a statement that the issue is cruisers gathering in private parking lots that could disrupt business restaurants and retailers in the area.
